Friday Happy Hour

NPR’s piece Wednesday on the chemical makeup of a perfectly balanced Bloody Mary left us determined to produce a hangover worthy of its remedies this weekend. (All for the sake of science, of course.) Well, here we are, Friday afternoon: Time to get working on that hangover.

Tomorrow morning, you’ve got a Curry-Spiced Bloody Mary to look forward to. Gayle Pirie and John Clark, the team behind San Francisco’s funky Foreign Cinema, took a cue from Indian cuisine here, flavoring the otherwise straightforward tomato juice/vodka mixture with Madras curry powder. The result? An unusual but approachable version of everyone’s favorite before-noon cocktail. It’s also one that you can make tonight, chill overnight, and enjoy in the morning without lifting a finger–cause who knows how to use fingers and stuff when they’re hungover. See? We’ve got your back.
